Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 329: The Unbending Iron

"noble?"

The corners of Aegor Rivers' mouth curved slightly, and he did not continue to speak, because he knew that Gaimon was not unaware of what the most "noble" illegitimate child was. As illegitimate children of noble birth, he and Gaimon naturally knew that the recently famous Daemon Weishui was actually a taboo in the royal family.

The late king had severed Daemon's inheritance rights with an almost arrogant attitude. As long as Aegon was still concerned about the influence of the late king, Daemon would not be able to enter the center of power. Even as a bastard, he would face many obstacles in participating in dragon training.

Just a tool.

Although Aegor was young, he knew exactly what Aegon thought of his bloodline. They were just tools to maintain the Targaryen family's Iron Throne. He didn't dare and couldn't change the bastard riding the dragon into a Targaryen - at least before Crown Prince Daeron tamed the dragon - he was almost there, and the aging crown prince had already received a full set of dragon taming training, which was a treatment that these bastards could not enjoy.

But Iger didn't want to be a tool.

"I know what you want to say, Aegor." Gaimon moved his butt towards Aegor. He had no ambitions, and even wanted to stay away from the dragon if possible, but Aegor could be said to be his only good friend. He had been with Aegor for so many years and witnessed Aegor's growth from an ambitious child to an ambitious teenager.

He didn't want anything to happen to his rare friends.

"Listen to me first. My mother is the daughter of the Stokeworth family. The Stokeworth family knows the crown and the royal family better than Bracken." Gaimon turned his body in front of Aegor seriously.

"There are differences between tools. We are tools of our father. The guy who made our father ready to ride a dragon is also a tool. But it is obvious that he is more valued by our father."

"Because he symbolizes the authority of his father's kingship."

Aegor stopped what he was doing. "Gaimon, don't really think of me as a piece of iron that doesn't use its brain - I know that many people liked to call me that when you were still here."

But now everyone is gone.

Aegon's once numerous bastards are now few and far between, and his bastard daughters are few and far between.
Aegon had only a few illegitimate daughters.

Some of them were betrothed to three illegitimate children who had successfully tamed dragons, but many more were "under house arrest" in another manor, restricting their activities.

"really."

Gaimon didn't know what to say.

This is the fact. Since Aegon ascended the throne, he has actually always been a weak monarch in terms of royal power. The strength and personal charm of the former King Daeron, as well as the great era he created for Westeros, have jointly shaped a "Dragonheart King". The Varese family also supports their grandson very much. In the era of Aegon II and Daeron I, from the Desperate Wall in the North to the desert coast of the two governors of Dorne, from the Iron Islands to the Stepstones, the king's decrees were fruitful.

But it was different for Aegon, because the legitimacy of his throne came from Daeron's compromise after he restricted many of his powers. The great nobles did not think highly of this "lame" romantic king, and the Varese family did not like this king who had no Varese blood and neglected Queen Rhaena, who had Varese blood.

The bastard dragon riders were his first step to strengthen his kingship.

Gradually breaking the restrictions of the previous king is the key to him regaining the kingship.

"Aegor, I still want to advise you once." Gaimon said sincerely: "Let's not talk about whether your father will allow you to tame the Sheep Thief. You know, the Sheep Thief is the third largest dragon in the dragon cave - if it weren't for the fact that Korakshu looks bigger, it would be the second largest dragon in the dragon cave. Do you think your father will allow a bastard to have a dragon bigger than a legitimate royal member? What's more, the bigger the dragon, the harder it is to deal with. Haven't you seen how many people Jade Olins has eaten? Even if it is successfully tamed, look at Galins, he has been left with permanent scars, and I don't even know if he can live to the next summer. By the way, Aegor, you should also know that this long summer is coming to an end. All parts of the Citadel have issued warnings. In these few months, white crows may fly into the sky at any time, announcing the arrival of winter."

Iger shook his head indifferently: "Gaimon, this is our last chance."

He didn't understand the situation in King's Landing as well as Gaimon, but his intuition was more accurate than Gaimon's. His intuition told him that if they couldn't tame the dragons, or couldn't really become the tools that Aegon needed, Aegon would use more terrifying means than dragons to deal with these "children".

Over the years, Aegon had grown larger and larger, and he no longer had the energy, or the need, to mess around. Even riding in a sedan chair from his bedroom to the throne room would make him sweat profusely.

Even Aegor knew that King Aegon's public declaration a few days ago that he would fly to the conquered territories to burn the barbarians was basically impossible to achieve.

The reason is simple.

His size no longer allows him to fly on a dragon.

The Syrax can carry him, but it is not certain whether he can guarantee to survive the launch of the Syrax.

The last ones to fly to the conquered land were probably Aemon and the Royal Dragon Knights, who had been severely affected by rheumatism recently.

But Aegon's methods are directly proportional to his size.

No one dared to interfere in Aegon's court, for he had complete control over everything he could.

His illegitimate dragon riders are completely loyal to him, and his younger brother can only protect him.

All this was enough for him to do a lot.

As for the rest, Iger and the others couldn't think or say it.

"I won't give up." Iger looked at his friend firmly: "Never."

Dragonstone.

Queen Rhaena looked at her only son kindly.

Darren has now grown into a handsome young man. During his years of growth, Darren has established a deep friendship with the people of the Varese family.

It is said that the queen intends to bring Darren and Sirui together.

But it remains only a rumor.

"My son Darren, you have grown up, and there are things you have to face."

The queen held her son's face and looked carefully at this face, which did not look like his father but more like the son of the late King Darren. She was a little dazed for a moment.

"I understand, mother. You and my knight Lord Regen have taught me a lot." Darren looked down at his mother, who was obviously much shorter than him, and said softly.

"I have already mastered the skills to communicate with dragons and how to get close to them. Baoyun is a very gentle dragon. I often got close to it when I was little, but it didn't attack me. This is a good sign, isn't it, mother?"
